KEY GAME INFORMATION
SEATTLE: SEATTLE (AP) - Robinson Cano is one of the few on the Seattle Mariners roster who can speak with certainty about the playoffs. In his previous stop, Cano played in the postseason seven times and hoisted one World Series trophy.
When Cano looks at the roster the Mariners have put together for the 2015 season, he sees familiar traits.
''On paper we look like world champions,'' Cano said. ''But hopefully, God help us, we stay healthy and it's not how we look on paper, we have to go out and prove it every day.''
This time it's different for Seattle. Before the season begins the Mariners are viewed as favorites in the AL West.
It's been a rarity for most of Seattle's history for the Mariners to be the favorites and when they have been, they typically fell short. That's what makes this season equal parts exciting and concerning. They could be the team that reignites the fire in Seattle fans, or one that provides another disappointment.
''There's more of a buzz around the team from an outside perspective. Internally, we expected a lot out of ourselves last year and we did that for the most part, obviously coming one game short,'' third baseman Kyle Seager said. ''But this year it's a different feeling in the locker room. There's more of a confidence. There's more of a general trust in the guy next to you and confidence in the guy next to you.''
Cano's signing a year ago brought validity to what Seattle was trying to create. That was supplemented by the development of Seager into an All-Star and Gold Glove winner, and the best pitching staff in baseball led by AL Cy Young runner-up Felix Hernandez.
But it wasn't enough. The Mariners ended one-game short. Getting to 87 wins was a surprising achievement but left Seattle wanting more.
The Mariners have created a roster that has Cano optimistic about what Seattle can accomplish. Nelson Cruz, the major league leader in homers last season, adds punch and protection in the middle of the lineup. The Mariners upgraded their outfield with the additions of Justin Ruggiano and Seth Smith and the late signing of Rickie Weeks.
And while Hernandez remains the ace, Seattle's pitching staff could be even better because of youngsters James Paxton and Taijuan Walker.
''With the additions we made this offseason and guys getting that experience last year, being in a little bit of a race, I think this team's prepped and ready to make a run at the postseason,'' Paxton said.
Here are things to watch as Seattle looks to reach the postseason for the first time since 2001:
CRUZ CONTROL: The addition of Cruz is a massive upgrade for Seattle's offense. While with Baltimore, Cruz was the only hitter in baseball to reach 40 homers last season, and while that came in the friendly hitting confines of Camden Yards he's always been a strong hitter at Safeco Field. One of Cruz's biggest impacts is the trickle down on Seattle's lineup. He'll hit behind Cano and in front of Seager and no longer leaves the cleanup spot in Seattle's order a gaping hole.
GOOD TO BE THE KING: Hernandez is already driven by the desire to make the postseason. He may have gotten just a little more motivation by finishing second in the Cy Young voting to Cleveland's Corey Kluber. He set a major league record last season when he pitched 16 straight games of seven or more innings while allowing two earned runs or less. It was a brilliant stretch from May to early August, but wasn't good enough to get Seattle to the postseason or win the Cy Young.
PLATOON OR NO PLATOON: How manager Lloyd McClendon handles his situations in right and left field will be worth watching early in the season. Ultimately, it's a good thing for Seattle to have as many options as it does at those positions with Smith and Ruggiano in right field and Dustin Ackley and Weeks in left field. With the strengths of each player, it's likely Smith and Ackley will right-handed pitching and Weeks and Ruggiano against lefties. McClendon has said he doesn't view either situation as a platoon.
BEST BULLPEN: Fernando Rodney was the anchor of the best bullpen in baseball last year. He led baseball in saves with 48, but he was just part of what made Seattle successful late in games. Most of that bullpen crew is back, and for as good as Seattle's starters are expected to be, its relievers need to be equal to last season if the Mariners are going to match their expectations.
CHI WHITE SOX: CHICAGO (AP) - A decade removed from their most recent championship, the Chicago White Sox once again are eyeing a big season.
Their sights are set on an AL Central title after consecutive losing records, maybe even more. The White Sox added to their offense, boosted their rotation, overhauled their bullpen and sent expectations soaring.
''Obviously postseason first, and World Series,'' new closer David Robertson said. ''I mean that's what I look forward to every year. That's where I want to be.''
The addition of Robertson to the bullpen is among the reasons the White Sox believe they are armed and ready after going 73-89. But it's not the only one.
They added All-Star Jeff Samardzija to a rotation that already included ace Chris Sale. They added free agent Adam LaRoche to their lineup, giving AL Rookie of the Year Jose Abreu more protection, and brought in Melky Cabrera to solidify the No. 2 spot in the order behind Adam Eaton.
Is that enough to compete with Cleveland, Kansas City and Detroit in the division and make a run in the playoffs? The White Sox believe it is. Their fans are pumped, too.
With that in mind, here are some things to look for this season:
LINED UP: It would be hard for Abreu to match, let alone exceed, what he did last season. He batted .317 with 36 homers and 107 RBIs, one year after defecting from Cuba. While the White Sox tied for fourth in the AL in homers, they were just eighth in runs, ninth in batting average and 12th in on-base percentage.
LaRoche, who signed a $25 million, two-year contract, should give them power from the left side. He hit 26 homers and drove in 92 runs for Washington last season. Cabrera, a .301 hitter with Toronto, helps the top of the order.
''I think we're jelling together as a team. Hopefully that translates to wins in April,'' Eaton said.
SALE-ING ALONG: With Sale, Samardzija and Jose Quintana, the White Sox appear strong at the top of the rotation.
Sale made the AL All-Star team for the third time last season while going 12-4 with a 2.17 ERA with 208 strikeouts and 39 walks. Samardzija, acquired from Oakland, moves into the No. 2 spot. With Sale recovering from a broken foot, Samardzija - who grew up a White Sox fan - could wind up starting the opener at Kansas City after pitching the previous two for the Cubs.
CLOSING TIME: Chicago tied for seventh in the majors with 21 blown saves and had the fourth-lowest save percentage (63.2) last season. Robertson, who took over as closer after Mariano Rivera retired, saved 39 games for the New York Yankees last season. Chicago also brought in Zach Duke.
RODON WATCH: Whether he starts the season in the rotation or gets sent down to the minors, expect to see top prospect Carlos Rodon in a White Sox uniform at some point this season. The No. 3 pick in last year's amateur draft, he is on a fast track to the majors after three standout seasons at North Carolina State. Rodon, who made nine minor league appearances in 2014, could start the year in the rotation. If Rodon starts in the minors, veteran Brad Penny could make some early starts.

*Mariners-White Sox Preview* ============================

By KEVIN MASSOTH STATS Writer

Seattle (61-69) at Chicago (60-68), 2:10 p.m. EDT

A hot stretch into August had the Chicago White Sox optimistic about the final two months of the season. Entering the final two days of the month, the hope is to stay out of last place in the AL Central.

The White Sox play their final game in August Sunday against the visiting Seattle Mariners, who they've seen plenty in the last two weeks.

Both clubs are seven games behind Texas for the second wild card but trailing five other teams.

Chicago (60-68) lost for the fifth time in seven games, falling 7-6 Saturday after leaving the bases loaded twice. The White Sox went 4 for 13 with runners in scoring position and left 11 on base.

"We get bases loaded a few times, I'd like to get a little more out of it," manager Robin Ventura said.

Kyle Seager hit a two-run homer during a three-run first inning and Robinson Cano went 4 for 4 to lift the Mariners (61-69) to their fourth win in five tries.

The White Sox will turn to one of their few bright spots this season in Jose Quintana to get them out of a miserable month where they've posted an 11-16 record.

Quintana (7-10, 3.63 ERA) has completed at least six innings in seven consecutive starts, halfway to his career-long streak of 12 set from May 13-July 12. He's 3-1 with a 3.13 ERA in his last seven outings, the final three of which he lasted six innings and allowed three earned runs or less.

Quintana did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 5-4 win over Boston after tossing six innings and allowing seven hits and four runs - three earned.

The left-hander has 20 starts of at least six innings and three earned runs or less this season, but his record is indicative of his run support average of 3.47, the third lowest in the AL.

Quintana is 0-1 with a 3.91 ERA in four starts against the Mariners. He has held Seager, Cano, Nelson Cruz, Mark Trumbo and Austin Jackson to a combined .197 batting average in 66 total at-bats.

Seattle's Edgar Olmos faced the White Sox on Aug. 22, throwing a perfect inning out of the bullpen in a 6-3 loss. It was one of his four scoreless relief outings since his promotion from Triple-A Tacoma on Aug. 17.

The reward for Olmos (1-0, 0.00) is his first career start Sunday.

Olmos picked up his first win in Tuesday's 6-5 victory over Oakland, tossing 3 2-3 scoreless innings.

The Mariners claimed the 25-year-old left-hander off waivers from Miami in November, but he was released and picked up by Texas in February. The move was rescinded, though, when a shoulder injury in his throwing arm surfaced during the waiver process in spring training, sending Olmos back to Seattle.

"It's amazing. Indescribable," Olmos told MLB's official website. "It's something as a little kid you want to be part of, and I'm living that dream. It's awesome."

Mariners outfielder Franklin Gutierrez, who is hitting .471 with two homers and six RBIs in five games against the White Sox this season, had some tightness in his Achilles tendon and was out of the lineup Saturday after getting hit on the knee by a pitch in the series opener.
